ParallelCombine[f, h[e_1, e_2, ...], comb] evaluates f[h[e_1, e_2, ...]] in parallel by distributing parts of the computation to all parallel kernels and combining the ...
Sign
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Sign[x] gives -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether x is negative, zero, or positive.
The utility functions FindMinimumPlot and FindRootPlot show search data for FindMinimum and FindRoot for one- and two-dimensional functions. They work with essentially the ...
Mathematica works with both exact quantities and approximate numbers. Using N , you can obtain a numerical approximation to an exact quantity with any desired precision or ...
InverseFunction[f] represents the inverse of the function f, defined so that InverseFunction[f][y] gives the value of x for which f[x] is equal to y. InverseFunction[f, n, ...
Norm
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Norm[expr] gives the norm of a number, vector or matrix. Norm[expr, p] gives the p-norm.
Supporting a large number of numerical integration methods for differential equations is a lot of work. In order to cut down on maintenance and duplication of code, common ...
ControlActive[act, norm] evaluates to act if a control that affects act is actively being used, and to norm otherwise.
CopyToClipboard[expr] replaces the contents of the clipboard with expr.
Rational is the head used for rational numbers.
